The main fight on the undercard took place on the big night of boxing.
A night of boxing is taking place in Saudi Arabia, with the main event being the fight between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou.
On the eve of their fight, a meeting between experienced heavyweights Zhang Zhilei (26-1-1) and Joseph Parker (34-3) took place.
The Chinese fighter immediately seized the initiative and in the third round his opponent was put on the floor, but he got up and continued the fight.
After the knockdown, Parker started to fight back and performed very well until he was on the canvas again in the eighth round.
Two knockdowns may have damaged him, but the New Zealander showed real class and won the last four rounds. The fate of the winner is decided by the judges. One of them bet on a draw, but the other two gave victory to Parker, who became the new interim WBO world champion.
